Interferon (IFN)‐inducible 44 like (IFI44L) is an IFN‐stimulated gene, the expression of which is induced by IFN and human immunodeficiency virus (HIV)‐1 infection. However, the mechanism has not yet been determined. In this study, we cloned the promoter of the IFI44L gene and found that interferon regulatory factor‐1 could bind directly to the IFN‐stimulated response element in the IFI44L promoter to activate IFI44L. Furthermore, we demonstrated that HIV‐1 can activate the IFI44L promoter to influence the expression of IFI44L.
